Very Rare and possibly unique. Not found in Findlay or Kuethe or in any of the major token collections that I know of.
Chung Ling Soo (1861-1918) American-born William Ellsworth Robinson created quite possibly the most incredible illusion in history. Starting his career working with both Harry Kellar's troupe and with Alexander Herrmann's show, Robinson wanted to launch a career of his own. In the late 1800s, he responded to a $1,000 challenge by popular Oriental vaudeville magician Ching Ling Foo daring any magician to duplicate a particular trick. Robinson presented the solution to Ching Ling Foo, but the challenge turned out to be a publicity stunt. Angry, Robinson decided to create his own major stage illusion show, complete with his own Oriental performer. Chung Ling Soo soon became an incredibly famous performer, both in America and abroad, with exceptional and beautiful publicity posters that fetch thousands of dollars today. Chung Ling Soo appeared in full costume onstage and offstage, and always had an interpreter with him. His most famous effect was the dangerous Bulltet Catching Trick, in which several volunteers lined up onstage and fired guns directly at him; the bullet would break a plate he held in front of his chest, and he would catch the bullet in his teeth. On March 23, 1918, the unthinkable happened- Chung Ling Soo was fatally shot onstage in London. Though a mystery still remains about how the accident happened (was it really an accident, or was it intentional murder), Chung Ling Soo's secret was revealed by the doctors who ripped away his tunic in a bid to save his life: Chung Ling Soo was not an Oriental, but was William Ellsworth Robinson, for years living in full makeup as a part of the most elaborate illusion of all time
